Experience-Rich
Anthropology

Enhancing the teaching and learning of
anthropological concepts by widening student experience using
anthropological field materials.

A consortium of UK universities led by CSAC developed
"experience-based" teaching units over 3 years with the
support of UK HEFCE funding under the FDTL program. This site contains
information about the project and the units that have been
developed.

This project is designed to enhance the teaching and learning
of anthropology by encouraging teachers to help students explore the
relationships between field data and analysis as reported in monographs
and journal articles. Experience at UKC and elsewhere has shown that
students value and benefit from being able to study field data as well
as the results of its analysis. The project aims to disseminate
elements, methods and sample teaching materials based on existing field
data (field notes, film or photographic or other types of data) suitable
for incorporation into current and new courses.
